IMPRovEM-ENT iN PORTABLE s'roRE-nooms AND PAN-mies.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pari: of the same.

To all whom it may concern B e it known that I, THOMAS A. BARRELL, of Marca, in the county of Macon and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful ImI provenients in Combined Portable Store-Room, Pan'- try, Sec. 5 and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the aecompanyingdrawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

-The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement, in aY convenient and portable form, of va combined store-room, pantry, and case of drawers ,in one article of household furniture, occupying no' more' spacecn the door than the ordinary safe or cupboard, affording ample room for two hundred pounds ot' deurV and all the apparatus for mixing bread and cake, 'with the necessary spicesv and flavor-ing extracts with room for all the tableware, including knives and forks, dishes of all kinds, table-eloths, napkins and rings, and a separate apart, ment for tea-towels and wiping-cloths, drawers for bread, cake, Snc., as hereinafter specified, the whole occupying only a space of about twenty by forty inches' ou the door and seven feet in height. l

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertaius to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and arrangement, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure I is a perspective view, and

Figure 2, an end view, part in section.

Z represents an oblong boxor chest about twenty by forty inches on the floor, and thirty inches high, resting upon legs, as shown, and provided with a enphoard, Y, above.

vIn the bottom' of the chest Z is a drawer, A, going in from front the entire length and width ot' the chest.

Above this drawer is a horizontal partition, a, as shown in iig. 2. In one end of the chest is a number vof drawers B B, for various purposes, extending inward for a suitable `distance.

The remaining' portion ofthe chest being divided into two bins or compartments, C C, for flour and meal, with a sliding lid, D, which Acan be moved backward under the cupboard Y.

The bins 0 O do not extend entirely to the front of the chest, but only'to a vertical partition, b, which is placed far enough inside of the front of the chest to admit in the space thus formed the cake-board E, said yspace being closed at top, under the sliding lid D, by

a small lid or cover, Las shown.

At the' upper front edge of the chest is hinged a table-leaf, G, which, when in use, is 'supported by the swinging bracket H.

When the leaf {j} is let down -the bracket H lits' in Aa recess on the front side of the chest.

. In the lower 'part' of the cupboard Y are drawers, I

I, divided into'compartrnents for various 'uses-knives forks, spoons, &c. and in .one end of the cupboard is a compartment, J, with door, for dish-towels, rolling` pin, cake-cutters, &c., said compartment being pro-- vided with hooks for hanging up various articles.

The remaining part of the cupboard is provided with novable. shelves, K K,.and door s opening from the ront.

The advantages and convenience of this novelty combination are vtoo apparent` to need any further mention. v

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new., and desire to secure by Letters I2atent, is-v The ycombinatiomin one article of household fumi# turc, of the box or chest Z and cupboard Y, when their various parts are constructed and arranged substan` tially as shown and described, and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 'have hereunto setmy hand this 13th day ofJune, 1870.
